ADRIAN, Mich. - The men's basketball team dropped their third straight in conference play and second straight at home on Saturday night (Feb. 5) with a 66-57 loss to visiting Albion College.

Sophomore Sean Gallant led Adrian with 17 points establishing a new career-high. He went 8-of-10 from the floor including a triple at the buzzer and also grabbed five rebounds in 32 minutes.

Sophomore Wesley Reed added 14 points which was the first time in the last four games he reached double figures. Reed was 4-of-7 shooting including 3-of-6 from behind the arc and played 36 minutes. Sophomore Delano Collins registered seven assists in 27 minutes.
